President Trump generated over $1 billion in revenue from cryptocurrency businesses last year, according to a federal filing released Tuesday. The crypto earnings now exceed much of his traditional real estate portfolio accumulated over decades.

Trump's digital assets have become a significant income source during his second term. The president and his family have aggressively expanded their crypto holdings and launched various blockchain-related ventures. At the start of 2025, Trump declared his intention for the United States to become the "crypto capital" of the world, signaling a major policy shift toward digital currencies. The $1 billion figure underscores the rapid growth of Trump's crypto portfolio, which has outpaced returns from his traditional business empire. His real estate holdings, which took decades to build, now generate less annual revenue than his year-old crypto investments. The filing provides rare transparency into the president's financial dealings in the digital asset space, a sector that has gained increased legitimacy and investment attention in recent years.
